Original job description

Opportunity Type: Code Licensing / Revenue Opportunity

Location: Worldwide | Remote

Who Can Apply: Software Developers, Tech Founders, Engineering Teams & Code Owners

We welcome submissions from individuals and organizations that own existing software repositories, including:

  • Abandoned startups and discontinued products with substantial codebases.
  • Personal projects and side projects that are no longer actively maintained.
  • Internal tools, utilities, and automation solutions developed for your own business.
  • Previous SaaS products, applications, and platforms that are no longer commercially active.
  • Other original software repositories with clear ownership and licensing rights.

Projects do not need to be commercially successful or currently maintained to be considered.

How it works?

  • Submit your repository for an initial assessment of its potential licensing value.
  • Receive an evaluation based on the codebase and the applicable acceptance criteria.
  • Explore licensing opportunities if your repository qualifies.
  • Get compensated according to the agreed licensing terms if a transaction is completed.

The evaluation and licensing process is designed to help code owners understand the potential value of their repositories without committing to a traditional development engagement.

Compensation

For standard non-exclusive licensing, current reference rates are:

  • $100 per 1M source-code tokens
  • $40 per 1M Git-history tokens

Each repository is assessed individually, and you can review the estimated value before deciding whether to move forward.

  • Software development experience or ownership of an existing software product, application, or repository.

  • Full ownership or legal rights to license the submitted source code.

  • Access to original code repositories, including discontinued products, abandoned projects, internal tools, or independently developed software.

  • Code must not include third-party material that you are not permitted to sublicense.
